Grandstand(s) description(s)
Brabham
Located on the inside of the track at the northern end of the Main Straight, youre as close as you can get to all the drama and action of Turns 1 and 2 without being in one of the cars. Hungry for more thrills? The superscreen opposite puts you in the thick of the Formula One action. Just hungry? The bars and a smorgasbord of food stalls directly behind the grandstand make a perfect pit stop.

Jones
Located at the challenging first chicane at the northern end of the Main Straight, youre in the perfect spot to see the scorching action as the cars snake through Turns 1 and 2. The superscreen opposite puts you in the thick of the spectacular Formula One drama. The bars and catering nearby let you refuel and relive the excitement at your own pace.
|
Prost
The "Prost" grandstand is located on Turn 16 the final corner of the circuit leading onto the pit straight. The corner is taken around 150kmh in 3rd gear and a good exit from this corner is crucial for the speed the racing cars carry down the pit straight. This is a very popular stand and is normally sold out first. It also offers you a view of Turn 15 and start of the pit straight. The superscreen opposite this grandstand intensifies the drama as it magnifies the action.
